STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The University encourages and promotes the free exchange of ideas on campus. In order to facilitate that interest, it has designated locations on campus for the distribution of student newspapers, magazines and other publications. All publications that are registered as student publications by the Student Activities Commission may place copies of newspapers or periodicals in designated areas in the following: Levering Hall, the MSE Library and residential dining facilities. They may also be placed in areas with racks supplied specifically for student publications. A list of designated locations will be maintained in the Department of Student Development and Programming. Placement of publications in non-designated areas is prohibited, and copies of periodicals placed in violation of this policy are subject to immediate removal. POSTERS, POLICIES, AND NOTICES
